Chapter 52

He took her small hand in his, cupped it in his large hand, and said with a happy expression, "Although it's ugly, I like it very much."

"Brother Xi, try one. Don't let its appearance fool you, it tastes great and is very effective." Ye Zhenzhen wanted him to try the Medicinal Pills quickly.

Ye Qingchuan deliberately opened his mouth, indicating that she should feed him.

At this moment, the sickly-sweet boy had a smile in his eyes and was unbelievably handsome. Even the mole on the tip of his nose shone with a captivating brilliance under the moonlight, leaving her momentarily stunned.

The cool fragrance emanating from her body, mixed with the sweet scent of osmanthus, even took on a subtle sweetness, prompting her to greedily inhale a few more breaths.

Ye Zhenzhen reached out her small hand, took a Medicinal Pills, and gently placed it to Ye Qingchuan's lips. Ye Qingchuan ate it, tasting the strawberry fragrance and a familiar sweet-smelling aroma. His aura became exceptionally smooth and harmonious. He softly whined, "So sweet, I want more."

Is this the yandere boy's delicate side? Why do I inexplicably like him so much?

As if bewitched by his smiling Auspicious Phoenix Eyes, Ye Zhenzhen inexplicably took another Medicinal Pills and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

He deliberately touched her outstretched finger with his tongue, startling her so much that she suddenly trembled.

Thankfully, he didn't bite her hand again.

"Junior Sister, why did you celebrate my birthday? Why are you so good to me?" The boy suddenly lay down on his back, leaning against a tree branch, and looked up at the moon in the sky.

He dared not look at her face, afraid she would give him an answer he didn't like.

Instead of answering him directly, she asked somewhat abruptly, "Third Senior Brother, do you have someone you like right now?"

The air seemed to freeze for a moment. He remained silent for a long time. Finally, as if sighing, he said, "I've got it."

Sure enough, that person must be Ye Qingyao.

Ye Zhenzhen thought for a moment, then continued, "What would you do if the person you like in the future didn't like you back?"

"Don't like me? Ha, if she doesn't like me, I'll keep bothering her until she falls for me," Ye Qingchuan replied, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"What if she falls in love with someone else?"

"Then I won't give her a chance to like anyone else. Even if it means keeping her by my side, I will still have her." The young boy's voice hardened.

As expected of him.

The yandere boy in the original book, unable to win the heart of the one he loved, imprisoned her and forced himself on her. His love wasn't true love; it was more like a crazy and perverse possessiveness.

How could she make him stop being so obsessive? Ye Zhenzhen remained silent for a while.

After careful consideration, she spoke softly from the bottom of her heart, "[Third Senior Brother, do you know that there are many kinds of love? Perhaps what you think is liking, or your persistent deep love, is just an obsession. If you try to look more around you, you'll find that there are actually many people who are good to you and love you, besides Second Senior Sister, there are also Parents, First Senior Brother, and me.]"

She wanted to tell him that he was no longer alone, that there were many people around him who loved and cared for him, and that he shouldn't only focus on Ye Qingyao.

"Oh? You love me too?" She said so much, but he only grasped the most crucial sentence for him.

"Love."

"How much do you love me?" His breathing suddenly quickened.

"I love you just like I love my First Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister," she replied without hesitation.

This didn't seem to be the answer he wanted.

Ye Qingchuan's beautiful eyes, which had just brightened, dimmed again. After a long silence, he said unwillingly, "What if I wanted a special kind of love? More than the love you have for First Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister?"

He couldn't quite articulate what kind of love he wanted, but it certainly wasn't the same kind of love as everyone else's. Perhaps what he desired was special affection, a love that wouldn't leave him feeling insecure or anxious.

"It's not impossible," she said.

"If you can love me more, I will love you more too. Love is about reciprocity." She's not a saint; she won't love someone unconditionally, but if she could, she'd be willing to exchange sincerity for sincerity.

"Love is about putting yourself in someone else's shoes." The young boy repeated this sentence, as if suddenly enlightened, looking at her intently. "If I always love you, you will always love me and never abandon me, right?"

"Yes".

A tiny glutinous rice ball sits on an osmanthus tree under the moonlight.

Her smile and laughter were so radiant.

Ye Zhenzhen: There are many kinds of love. Are we talking about the same kind of love?

Ye Qingchuan: When you grow up, you'll understand what kind of love I'm talking about.

Ye Zhenzhen: You're not that old either...

Chapter 52

================

Spring has passed and winter has come; more than three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Little Glutinous Rice Ball that was only a tiny bit before has grown taller and bigger, but she is still as greedy as ever, selling books and Spirit Plant, and driving up the prices of various fruit- Medicinal Pills to astronomical levels at auctions. Just as Lu Lingxuan's birthday blessing for her had predicted, she earned as much as a mountain of Superior Spirit Stone, becoming a veritable little rich girl.

This period was not peaceful; many things happened, such as the Sky-Gate Zither of the String-Killing Sect being stolen by the Devil Race, and female cultivators starting to disappear one after another in the Cultivation World. Fortunately, nothing major happened to the Cloudsky Sect.

Although a crisis had been brewing for some time, everything was fine for the time being.

In a few months, Ye Zhenzhen will celebrate her fifth birthday. She doesn't look forward to this day because in the original book, the Cloudsky Sect was destroyed on her birthday, but this day is getting closer and closer.

"Junior Sister, you've already reached the early stage of the Spirit Transformation!" Ye Qingchuan exclaimed in amazement after examining Ye Zhenzhen's inner sanctum. "Junior Sister's cultivation speed is simply inhuman!"

"You've already reached the Spirit Transformation stage," the Little Bean said dismissively.

"That's different. I'm 14 years old, and you're not even 5 yet."
